## Tasting notes

Garnet red with orange reflections. Aromas of violets, tobacco and red cherries, with hints of porcini mushroom and leather. Soft, rounded tannins balanced by fresh, mouthwatering acidity. Complex and ever-changing in the glass, with a long, elegant finish. Approachable young, with high ageing potential.
